Company profile
researched Aug 2026Hops (νμ€) is a low-code/no-code platform for building admin panels, back-office systems and internal management pages. Users assemble custom admin interfaces from more than 30 UI components and connect them to data sources ranging from databases to REST APIs, positioning the product as a way to reduce admin development from a longer engineering project to a matter of days.
The platform combines a component-based page builder with workflow tooling: configurable business operation workflows over connected DB/API sources, webhooks and time-based schedule triggers, role-based page access control, audit logging for security review, and dashboards that consolidate data extracted from multiple databases and APIs into a single view. An AI layer, marketed as "Hops AI," performs text-generation tasks and can generate or edit workflow code directly, while an AI page-build capability automatically generates whole pages together with their workflows. The site also promotes ready-made industry-standard templates for common use cases such as sales dashboards, CRM, payment management and project management.
The company presents its offering through a self-serve onboarding flow alongside a partner/dedicated program, documentation, a blog and a community, and it publishes FAQ material covering pricing and SLA/security considerations. The site is operated by Hops, Inc. and is presented primarily in Korean.
